Chapter 6, Lesson 1

Sediment that breaks off of a rock and travels a long distance in water has what shape?

• angular

• rounded

• well sorted

• poorly sorted

What occurs when wind or running water slows down? (sediment comes to rest)

• mechanical weathering

• deposition

• erosion

• chemical weathering

This type of weathering changes the composition of a rock.

• chemical

• mechancial

Which type of weathering changes the size of a rock?

• chemcial

• mechanical (physical)

Weathering and Erosion are what type of process?

• Constructive

• Destructive

Deposition is what type of process?

• Constructive

• Destructive

To move large grains/sediment, the environment has to be...

• Low-Energy

• Warm

• High-Energy

• Cold

What is the process of moving weathered rock from one place to another?

• weathering

• deposition

• erosion

In which environment would you find poorly sorted sediment?
